Fuuka (風夏)

Isn't that Koyuki Hinashi?

I didn't know she had a new single out!

Outta my way!

Owie, ow!

Ow. Hey, are you alright?

Why didn't you listen? I said to get out of the way.

I know you saw.

Nope, I saw nothing.

You took pics?

No, I swear I didn't! I was just tweeting!

I hate... perverts!

-- --

Hmph!

Man. Why me?

So, that's how I met Fuuka Akitsuki.

The girl wrapped in a summer breeze.

The place that I always dreamed

I'd reach one day is too high above us

To get to

The promise we made is fading

every moment we conform like they do

I wanna move on my own

Step away from the crowd

I wanna dance to my own beat

I'm done trying to blend in

I won't be tied to a tedious world

Repeating each day like a broken record sickens me

(No matter how I try I can't escape repetition)

It's hard to change it up

When no one else is listening

We're in a box, stuck in a box

Meant to stifle what we feel

Forced to erase all that we know is real

But I refuse to be locked up

Won't live in this prison

Gotta fight for open skies

Time to break free

Open our hearts to a world and go racing forward to the light

These broken chains can't hold us back

We're finally on track to heal all the fractures in ourselves

As we climb and ascend

Aiming high to the end

We'll feel a climber's high

Hear these words and know your dream can be stronger than steel

Just believe

You have the power

Let your voice be heard

I'm home, you guys.

'Bout time! Why are you so late?

Are you trying to starve your sisters to death, or what?

Well, a lot happened on the way.

Lemme guess, did you crash into somebody again

because you were too busy staring at Twitter?

If you had time to take your phone in for repairs,

you really should've been home earlier.

Uh? How did you know that?

How do you think?

We found your account and we're following you now!

You sure are a chatty one online, aren't you?

It's such a shame he won't talk to his family like that, huh?

I'll block you both later.

So, what? You know we'll find a way to see it!

Nothing good can come from living

in a house full of sisters.

Got the food.

Thanks for that, kiddo. I appreciate you picking it up.

Hey, What's wrong?

A girl slapped him on his way here!

She thought he took an upskirt pic!

Maybe he's a little embarrassed because

he really was caught in the act!

No, I was not!

Not you, too. C'mon Maya, don't laugh.

I know, I'm sorry. So, in other news.

I heard from Mom and Dad. They arrived safe and sound.

Yeah?

Those luckies! I wish I could have gone too!

I wanna live in America.

C'mon, let's eat dinner before it gets cold.

Okay! Man, I'm starving!

I think I want the fried chicken.

No fair!

Up until a couple days ago,

my younger sister, Chitose,

and I were living with our parents in the countryside.

But then, our dad got transferred overseas

and our mom went with him.

Our older sisters, Maya and Hibiki,

had already been living together in Tokyo for a while.

So, it was decided that what made the most sense

was for the four of us to stay together in Tokyo, on our own.

And now, at last. This week's number one!

Yuu, look at this!

Koyuki's new song made it all the way up to number one!

Wow. yeah, it's amazing.

Hold on. Don't tell me you're not keeping in touch

with her on your precious Twitter!

Uh...

You two were inseparable back in grade school.

What was it you called each other? Nico and Tama?

That was a long time ago.

Couldn't talk to her now if I wanted to.

Well, duh, she's too famous!

If you reached out now, I bet she'd totally ignore you!

It's kinda sad, huh?

One is a top artist and the other's a gloomy boy

who's addicted to his smartphone.

You couldn't be more different if you tried.

Will you shut up?

Hey, hold on. You're starting school tomorrow, aren't you?

Not yet. I still have to go by to turn in all my paperwork.

Sure! I can take care of this for you.

You'll be starting tomorrow, then.

Yes, ma'am.

You know what? Since you're here,

why don't you take some time to look around the school?

I'm sure you'd like to check things out

and get the lay of the land before tomorrow.

One question.

Yes?

Well... No. Never mind, I'm sorry.

What the hell was I thinking?

There's no normal way to ask if there's a girl at this school

who would break my phone. Probably several.

I love your new haircut!

OMG, thank you for noticing!

Hello? Of course I did!

Oh, well. Guess I'll keep it till I run into her again.

Hm?

You're the guy from yesterday!

Are you sneaking pics again?

Stay right where you are!

Uh...

Holy...

Hand it over, jerk!

Uh? Why should I?

I wanna have a look at all the pictures you've been taking.

Uh...

But, I never meant--

So you were taking upskirt pics?

No, just shots of the scenery!

Then why'd you say you never "meant" to?

I don't know, I guess I panicked!

If there's nothing to hide, then just show me!

There's personal stuff on here!

Gimme the phone, you big pervert!

Back off!

Calm dow--

Why?! That was a loaner from the repair shop, too!

Uh...

I was so sure it landed around here.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

I'll help you look for it.

My plan is to see if the picture you took

was really of the scenery, and if not,

then my plan is to kick your butt.

Jeez, you're violent!

Maybe, but if you're telling the truth,

it won't be an issue, right?

Well, yeah, but still.

[YUU÷} Hey! Let's try calling my number with your phone!

Can't.

Uh, why not?

Because, I don't have cell phone.

You're kidding, right?

Man, this girl's weird.

No. I'd rather listen to music,

than blog, or tweet, or whatever.

But you can download tons of music on a phone.

Yeah, but I prefer CDs.

That's right. Here you go.

I thought I lost that yesterday!

Well, yeah, you did. I found it.

And I never tried to take your picture.

Hey, I'm home.

Welcome home.

You've been unusually quiet on Twitter for a while.

Kinda bizarre.

Yeah, I lost my phone earlier.

Would you put some clothes on?

Good, you're here! Do you know where my T-shirt is?

My favorite one with the weird face on it?

Nope, I sure don't. Put something else on.

Glad you're home! You should hurry, though.

You need to take your bath now, the water will get cold.

What are you, nudists?!

No, it's just so hot.

We're all family. What does it matter?

You guys, I still can't find my shirt!
